King Khufu, also know as Cheops, is famous for ordering the Great Pyramid of Giza to be built. Contrary to his popularity, his only surviving statue is a mere seven and a half centimeters tall. Surprisingly, not much else is known about the pharaoh. |
King Tutankhamun, or King Tut, is famous today for his tomb that was found in 1922. This is because in ancient Egypt, tomb looters would strip the pharaoh's tomb of their riches but, King Tut's tomb was still intact. He became king when he was nine years old and died ten years later. |
